I think the next-best leftist in Congress right now is probably Cori Bush, maybe Rashida or Ilhan. Although it would be pretty sweet to get Nina Turner's "fuck you" energy in Congress.
Ilhan and Rashida were originally more pro establishment than AOC was to be fair as well. They just actually got fucked over by the establishment in a way AOC didn't when they got accused of anti semitism for supporting palestine and it changed them more.
Originally Ilhan didn't want Bernie to run, and wanted someone like Kamala or Warren.
Cori Bush is unquestionably the best, I actually trust her to fight in a way I don't anyone in federal government except Sanders, Jaamal Bowemann will also be good, more valuable than AOC bc he can really connect with african american men who are currently far from being reached politically by the left. The new crop is definitely better than the old one.
